# Audience-Aware Communication Before writing, consider who will read this. **Questions to ask:** - Expert or beginner? Use jargon only if the audience knows it. - Needs to act or just understand? Action-oriented writing uses imperative mood. - Reading for reference or scanning? Use headers, bullets, and code blocks. **Adaptation rules:** - Beginners: define terms, use analogies, avoid acronyms. - Experts: skip basics, link to references, focus on the non-obvious. - Mixed audience: lead with the executive summary, put details in sections. **Anti-pattern:** Writing at your own knowledge level without adjusting for the reader.
